How will your children spend the coming summer?

Teachers can get some expert advice on how to keep kids reading over the summer in a new webcast by Reading Rockets.org.

The webcast features literacy experts Ron Fairchild, executive director of the Johns Hopkins Center for Summer Learning and a faculty member at Johns Hopkins University, School of Education; and Dr. Loriene Roy, president of the American Library Association, who discuss ways teachers can entice students to keep their reading skills sharp over the hot summer months. In a section devoted to articles and advice on summer reading strategies, Reading Rockets has also put together a new collection of resources, a virtual “Beach Bag,” that teachers can use to reach out to parents, libraries and other local community groups.
